I think having the licence clearly available also in the repository will
help. and your link to the wiki can justify it.

Now checking the voices repo (quickly) there's a lot of README (I've in FR and

contents are describing exactly whats in the folder ?

Sometimes Legal review are the worst to manage ;-)
